Workshop Visits

We operate an open invitation to all employees of our Customers to attend our Workshop for the day. This is free of charge, available for small groups of maximum 5 and hosted by Managing Director David Lewis.

You will acquire valuable insight into Maker-Mends systems and procedures and observe jewellery and watch repairs in action. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the technical side of the jewellery and watch industry. There maybe an opportunity for hands on experience depending on group numbers.

All refreshments, including lunch, provided. Please advise us of any dietary restrictions.
